Application filed February 25, 1910. Serial Ha 545,902.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, FREDERICK HAROLD S'rAoEY, a resident of MontreahCanada, at 4t Hospital street, have invented certain new and useful lm rovements in Collars; and l' do hereby dec are that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

The invention relates to improvements inthe neat appearance of the collar, especially .at the top front where usually the points spread and 'present an untidy appearance1 and generally to accomplish this purpose in a simple 'and e'ective manner.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a erspective view of a collar showing theband) and locking means in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a detail of the front of the collar showing the parts ybroken away. Fig. 31s a cross sectional view of the collarthrough the lockingstud hole,` on line ft-B in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 isa detail of the front of the collar, showing the parts broken away and a double locking means.

Like numerals of reference indicate c'or-V responding parts in each figure.

Referring. to the drawin s, l is the face of the 'collar folding over the and 2 as customary in doublev collars. l

3 and 4 are the ordinary stud holes arranged adjacent to the lower end of the band as customary.

5 is a stud hole in one end of the band above the stud hole 3 and farther in from the end of the band than the said studV hole 3.

6 is a key shaped stud hole in the other end of the band nearer to the extremity of that end than the stud hole 4 and preferably in oblique arrangement, said key shapedV stud hole having a substantially circular ulpper portion extending into an elongated s ot.

.ln Fig. 4, the only difference in the collar is that in place oit the ordinary stud hole". 4f, the key shaped slot 7 is used having the circular portion and the slot extendin from said circular portion so that there wi 1-be a y 'double lock to the collar when fastened.

through the cii-olar part of the key shaped stud hole 6 and then the band shoved up- -wardly, 'the stud 8 is then inserted through the stud hole 4 and the collar is securely fastened so that it will not part at 'the top 4 front portion and besides is securely locked in that position.

In the form shown in Fig. 4l, the operation of fastening the collar 1s almost similar,

with the exception that the vvstuds are inserted in the circular parts of the key shaped stud holes together and the band brought up so that the neck of the studs enter the slot vportions to the said lkey shaped stud holes.

f What I claim as my invention is:

A collar of the double collar style having toward the lower. end and front exposed portion of the band, a stud hole and a second stud hole in the same end through the band'completely covered by the face portion and in the other en'd of the band in the exposed portion toward the upper edge, a locking slot formed-by a substantially circular opening from which extends a comparatively narrow slot in an obli ue direction, slot being adapte to receive a stud extending through the covered hole in the other end of the band, and asuita-ble stud hole in the same end of the band as the locking slot extending partially under the face and adapted to receive the stud from the other stud hole in the vother end of the band and a locking slot of similar form to .the aforesaid locking slot and extending toward the -lower edge at the same end of the band adapted to receive the stud from the lower stud hole in the other end of the band.
